Stuttgart vs Bayer Leverkusen Predictions

Leverkusen to bounce back

Bayer Leverkusen can bounce back from the blow of going out to Bayern Munich in the Champions League by making sure they at least keep the pressure on their rivals in the Bundesliga title race.

Leverkusen are on a run of two straight away wins in the Bundesliga and they can make it three when they visit Stuttgart at the Mercedes-Benz Arena on Sunday. The hosts have also lost four of their last six league games at home.

Bayer Leverkusen are second in the league, six places and 16 points above Stuttgart, who are eighth with ten wins, seven draws and eight defeats.

Leverkusen will be expecting to get on the scoresheet, having scored three or more goals in nine of their 25 league games this season. They have also averaged over two goals a game in their 13 matches against other top-half teams.

Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten in their 12 away games this season and have gone 29 trips without losing. They have been winners on five of their last seven Bundesliga away days.

They have a solid defence, having conceded 13 goals in 12 away games this season – an average of just over one goal a game.
A 2-0 win for Bayer Leverkusen is the correct score to go for, with fewer than three goals in four of the last five Bundesliga clashes between these sides.
